Erickson's theory says we develop in psychosocial stages rather than psychosexual stages. According to Erickson, these eight stages occur as we go through life.
The first stage of this theory states that a child will experience trust or mistrust within their first year alive. This means you must be there to take care of a baby constantly during their first year of life because this will help them develop trust in the world they live in.
The sixth stage of development is intimacy versus isolation. This stage occurs in the early adulthood years. A child that is raised with proper social relationships will have a greater chance of developing intimate relationships and close friendships instead of living in isolation.
